"Where do I start?

Josh Lattanzi's guitar lessons are simply the best. I started taking lessons with Josh after I graduated college. I was moving to N

ew York to pursue songwriting and found Josh's website online, deciding to try out a lesson based on his experience as a musician and a teacher.

Now, over five years later I can confidently say that if I hadn't chosen Josh my career as a songwriter would be completely different. He goes above and beyond for his students.

I am simply incredibly lucky to have taken that initial step of a first lesson with Josh of NYC Guitar Lessons.

Josh is a patient, focused but fun teacher. His breadth and depth of knowledge of music, guitar and other instruments is extensive, and lends to thorough and thoughtful teaching.

The thing that I love most about taking lessons with Josh is that he is incredibly flexible, willing and able to tailor each student's lessons based on what their ultimate guitar goals are. It made it easy to refer friends to him that wanted to lean basics of guitar and suggest lessons to friends in the songwriting community who had more specific goals in mind.

"He's a great teacher! He teaches around students knowledge and ability. It was an awesome lesson"

"Rob is an accomplished guitarist and composer. He is amazing in terms of technique. If you think you have some level of technique already, he'll help you

fix any flaws. If you are just starting, he'll help you start at the right place which will get you excited about building skill levels on top of skill levels. Highly recommended."

"Concetta was wonderful with my daughter. My daughter had never even picked up a guitar before tonight's first lesson. Concetta showed a great deal of pati

"I truly enjoyed my first lesson with Indigo. She's a wonderful instructor. She explains very clearly with a calm and precise approach. I truly feel she c

an teach me how to be a better guitarist in a structured, positive and comfortable way. She immediately put me at ease without judgement and without the dreaded "mansplaining" that I often got from male instructors in the past. I'm definitely coming back for more lessons."

"I have been taking lessons with Jimmy for a few months now. I have seen great improvement with my skill and overall knowledge of the guitar and music. He

is a very patient teacher while being able to push you to achieve your best. He is very flexible with scheduling and any time I have an issue he works with me to reschedule. Overall I really enjoy learning from Jimmy and will continue to take lessons with him. I highly recommend working with him!"
